Sad Hailey Bieber makes Met Gala 2025 return WITHOUT Justin 4 years after Selena Gomez heckling drama
Hailey Bieber cut a somber figure as she made her return to the Met Gala on Monday without husband Justin, four years after she was heckled by fans of his ex, Selena Gomez.
The model, 28, looked stoic as she hit up the red carpet solo while flashing her legs in a Saint Laurent mini blazer dress.
The mom-of-one paired her looked with platform peep toe heels and glittering jewelry while sporting heavy contour.
The star was making her return to fashion's biggest night after a three year absence while husband Justin, 31, remained in LA and enjoyed a night of sports instead.
He shared a video showing him relaxing at home while watching playoff hockey captioned: '1 down @mapleleafs.'
There's heavy speculation that her brief absence from the Met Galas was due to the bullying she was rumored to have endured during the 2021 event.
It was rumored that Bieber was crying on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet when she attended with Justin.
The 'crying' was said to be brought on by fans heckling Bieber, chanting Selena Gomez's name at her.
In fact, Bieber was allegedly so 'upset' that she kept her sunglasses on the entire night.
Bieber, who later appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast revealed that while the chanting definitely bothered her, she wasn't exactly crying.
'I felt like I had something in my eye,' she said to Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper in an attempt to dismiss the speculation.
And as for the sunglasses, she said it was always meant to be part of her look.
Though she did note that the chanting she heard was 'disrespectful' to her and her relationship.
But Bieber said she had a mantra that helped keep her grounded: 'Another day, another negative slay,' she told Cooper.
The Met Gala 2025 co-chairs are Anna Wintour, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky.
